The Starkiller Base has been destroyed! While the Resistance celebrates, the First Order is quietly regrouping. Supreme Leader Snoke has summoned Kylo Ren to complete his training as a Sith Lord. But while he battles the demons within himself, Rey is on her way to the remote island of Ahch-To to find the last Jedi, Luke Skywalker. Now she must train her mind and body in the ways of the Force. But Jedi training is harder than it looks . . .

Come to the library to train as a Jedi or Sith Lord. You will be tested to see if you have what it takes! Contest will run from Nov. 27 - Dec. 15. A drawing for prizes will be held on Dec. 15!

1st Place - "Fullmetal Alchemist"

2nd Place - "The Scarlet Peepernel"

3rd Place - "City of Ember"

All the dioramas were so awesome, the voting was so close! A huge thanks to all the participants! You are amazing!

Let's face it. Not all books are created equal in physical attractiveness. We get it.So now is your chance to judge a book by it's cover.This contest is simple. Look through the shelves and find what you think is the ugliest book in the library. Judge your choice by appearance. It could be a great book, but with a terrible cover! Submit your book to a librarian and next week we'll vote for the winner!Time to enter - February 8th - 10th

The person with the winning pick will receive a giant bag of Valentine's Candy!

P.S. For some inspiration...if Miss Hopkins could enter, she might be tempted to pick this one!

First place will receive a $20 Amazon gift card. Come to the library for more details on what qualifies as a design and how to enter.​For inspiration, check out last year's winners below!
